From Kibworth To Coventry

We came from Kibworth
Settled in Coventry
All of this being after the Black Death
The War of the Roses
figured strongly in family tales
King Richard was wondrous
So we were told
I still long for the Hall there in Coventry
When I kneel in remembrance
Never will I forget
What my family worked for
Lived for
And died for
There’s a glade here in Coventry, where we’ll unite
